Up Popped a Fox blog

Luisa made a gorgeous bird. I mean she cooked a gorgeous bird. The way I wrote it the first time made it sound like she dressed up like a bird and looked quite fetching while doing so. She did not dress up as a bird though now I'm feeling rather disappointed because that would have been amazing. I'm glad that I'm writing this all down because next year someone damn well better dress up as a giant bird and come to my house for Thanksgiving. Anyway, it was the first time she'd ever made a turkey and it was absolutely perfect. Everything that accompanied the bird that was not Luisa was delicious as well...roasted vegetables, chestnut sausage stuffing, vegetarian stuffing, mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, gravy, cranberry sauce and wine. The pies were made at the May Day Cafe just down the street from us and were fabulous (we had pumpkin, banana cream and maple pecan). We served everything on my mother's china just as planned and every piece survived. The kids were a little wild but I did not kill them. I did make Miguel cry at one point but he rallied quickly. Good food, good company, laughter and even tears are all part of the deal, right?
Now, I'm sitting on the couch wishing that NaBloPoMo didn't take place in November because my Thanksgiving posts are always short. I don't even have a picture of anyone dressed as a bird which really would have made this entry pop. There is so much for which I am thankful. My life is filled with love and that is all that I have ever wanted. If you celebrate the holiday, I hope that you have had a good one. If you don't, I hope the rest of us haven't annoyed you too much with our turkey talk. Until tomorrow...
